Season finale vs. Gonzaga Saturday in the Marriott Center
BYU basketball will host Gonzaga Saturday in the regular season finale for both teams at 6 p.m. MST in the Marriott Center. A Cougar win would guarantee at least the second seed in the West Coast Conference Championships in Las Vegas. A win combined with a Saint Mary's loss on Saturday would give BYU a share of the regular season title and the No. 1 seed in Vegas.
Saturday's game will be televised live on ESPN2 and broadcast live on the Cougar IMG Sports Network, KSL NewsRadio 102.7 FM/1160 AM and BYU Radio – Sirius XM 143. Live video streaming will be available on WatchESPN.com. BYU will recognize its three seniors – Nate Austin, Kyle Collinsworth and Chase Fischer – prior to Saturday's game at approximately 5:50 p.m.
